Shame on them! I had my copy of FS X pre-ordered, and it was supposed to ship yesterday. I get an e-mail this morning saying it was back-ordered 2 weeks 🙄 . Yet I go online, and see that nearly all of the local stores have it in stock! Good thing they sent along a phone number too in case I want to cancel the order. I guess I'll be canceling that, swinging by a store on the way home, and hopefully my flight yoke and rudder pedals will have arrived. 😎

That should serve to convince everyone that pre-ordering is a bad idea.

Not really, depends who you order from I think. I preordered from GamePlay, it was delivered on time, and with a nice discount!

Probably true, I'm just surprised that Best Buy would get plenty of copies in all the stores without keeping the pre-orders in mind. The lady I talked to when I called to cancel says she's getting a lot of cancelled pre-orders for FS X today. I can't imagine why 😕 . Oh well, I went over to EB Games at lunch, and they had plenty in stock, so FS X Deluxe is sitting in my car right now 😎 . Too bad Best Buy, you lose.
